More Care-Free Lessons from the Birds
I’ve written 2,816 blogs. And I know my most written about subjects (other than my grandchildren) are birds. I’ve written about how annoying they can be like those who kept making nests on my front porch and their droppings were everywhere. I’ve written about the treasured cardinals who made their homes in trees outside my…
Ever Been Ghosted?
I learn a lot from my grands – at least when it comes to the lingo used these days. My grandson (whose name will remain anonymous to protect the innocent – he he!) came in and said “She’s ghosting me. I’m done. I’m not going to put up with that anymore!” In my lackluster “lingo”…
Happy October 1st, Vegans or Not, Everywhere!
I was awakened this morning by the glorious sound of Fall rain which I call “A beautiful day in the neighborhood”! Except for Austin, TX where the heat has flourished in the upper 90s, this rain tells me it’s time to get out our sweaters and light jackets! The glorious Autumn days are just ahead!…
Do We Represent Well
I was very moved by this photo of Sgt Nicole Gee (age 23) cradling a baby in her arms at Afghanistan’s Kabul airport. She posted the photo on Instagram and wrote, “I love my job.” Didn’t she represent us well with those words? But, then, she was among 13 U.S. troops killed in the horrific…
Only God Knows the Number of our Days
My father-in-law’s doctors said he only had six months to live. Dad knew they were wrong because, like Hezekiah, he asked for 15 more years, and that’s the number of years more he lived. My grandmother lived to be 99+ years. My mother, 94. Longevity seems to run in the family. My mother-in-law turns 99…
Our Wheat Crop is Flourishing
My blog for today was inspired from the “wheat” reference in my blog from yesterday. Rather it was the photo graphic I used. The words I added were: “See that graphic of a Wheat field with those affirming words about Who is in control and I’m not?” I purposedly put my name there as a…
Much Ado About Nothing
See that graphic of a Wheat field with those affirming words about Who is in control and I’m not? I purposely put my name there as a reminder! I turned on my Mac, put my finger on the touchpad ID but it didn’t open. Nada. Then I manually input my password. Nada. How can this…
Keeping our Bodies and Minds Strong
My precious mom said to her doctor “Doc, some mornings I just don’t want to get out of bed!” His reply? “The day you decide to do that, count on being bedridden very soon. In essence, he was saying “If you don’t use it – you’ll lose it!” These days – our minds are on…
There’s Something in the Water
Carrie Underwood immersed herself in a redemptive story song with “Something in the Water.” She took on baptism in a refreshing way when she chronicled her decision to turn to the Father to ask for guidance in every way. “Something in the Water” specifically focuses on baptism. The title came from her. She remembered the…
It’s Time to Flip the Script
A couple of days ago I blogged about this wonderful new season of Fall making its debut. Gratitude commenced with great expectations. Despite the pandemic and political unrest, we still live in a land where life is good. We take many things for granted. The air conditioning stayed on, and we awoke to a comfortable…
